    and let my cry find no resting place.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,

    like[a] that of a man with his neighbor.

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,
And let my cry [a]have no resting-place.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
And he that voucheth for me is on high.

But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,
21 [b]That he would maintain the right of a man with God,
And of a son of man with his neighbor!
